Ch. 501The price of freedom
The Freedom Alliance defeated the Eternal Council’s formatting fleet by joining their free wills against the four Formatters, while Allen helped the Chaos Consciousness Side become the Dragon of Chaos. After the victory, the Council’s ruler, who resembled Allen and called him his descendant, set out for the Sea of Balance to begin the true final battle.
- The Eternal Council’s million-ship fleet began formatting the Sea of Balance, and reinforcements from both universes gathered to fight it.
- Allen gave Luffy a totem that made him an anchor for the battlefield’s free wills, and the Straw Hat Pirates protected him from Formatter Zero’s attack.
- Allen helped the Chaos Consciousness Side choose its form and become the Dragon of Chaos, who struck Formatter Zero with a torrent of possibilities.
- As the four Formatters launched a universe reset, Luffy spread the totem’s light so beings across both universes could remember who they were and resist formatting.
- The Dragon of Chaos destroyed all four Formatters, and the Freedom Alliance defeated the remaining Eternal Council fleet.
- The Council’s ruler revealed his resemblance to Allen, called him his descendant, and departed for the Sea of Balance.
